Hum Dekhenge
I heard Iqbal Bano's rendition of this beautiful poem of Faiz. Presenting this to readers in roman script. While appreciating this poem one must remember that Faiz was an athiest. Religious references only signify the spiritual idea of islam not ritual hardcore islam. I did my best in translating urdu words, however there may be some errors left. Please point them out.
Hum dekhengeLazim hai ke hum bhi dekhenge
Wo din ke jis ka wada hai
Jo lauhe-azal pe likha hai
Hum dekhenge
[Lazim=compulsory,
lauhe-azal=eternal metal]
Jab zulm-o-sitam ke kohe-garaan
Rooi ki tarah ud jayenge
Hum mehkoomon ke pau tale
Ye dharti dhar dhar dharkegi
Aur ahl-e-hukum ke sir upar
Jab bijli kar kar karkegi
Hum dekhenge
[kooh-e-garaan=heavy mountain
Rooi=cotton
mehkoomon=oppressed
ahl-e-hukum=rulers]
Jab arz-e-Khuda ke kaabe se
Sab but uthwaye jaenge
Hum ahl-e-safa mardood-e-haram
Masnad pe bithae jaenge
Sab taaj uchale jaenge
Sab takht girae jaenge
Hum dekhenge
[kaabe=the sacred house
but=idol
Hum ahl-e-safa mardood-e-haram= we all accursed women of haram
masnad=throne]
Bas naam rahega Allah ka
Jo ghayab bhi hai hazir bhi
Jo manzar hai nazir bhi
Uthega ANAL HAQ ka nara
Jo mai bhi hon tum bhi ho
Aur raaj karegi Khalq-e-KHUDA
Jo mai bhi hon tum bhi ho
Hum dekhenge
Lazim hai hum bhi dekhenge
Hum dekhenge ...!
[manzar=image,
nazir=viewer,
ANAL HAQ = I am truth,
khalq=masses]

very nice... quite playful and very direct.
just a minor spelling mistake, it should be "sacred" rather than "scared" isn't it?
more regular posts please. and some commentary and backgrounder on poems too.
Thanks alok for dropping by. I will try to post regularly.
also move to the new blogger beta. it is better.
Its really good... Please post more.
Also, all the words which I didn't know meaning of, are translated.
Is the capitalization of few words in the last para, something to do with rendition ?
